Feature Requests

This is a page for serious feature requests. By "serious" we mean that the originator bothers enough about it to describe in detail what exactly he wants and why.

Before submitting a feature request, it must be discussed on the Discussion List beforehand.

When submitting a feature request to the discussion list, title it Feature Request: Name. Summarize the proposal in approximately 3 lines. Explain the proposal in approximately 15 lines. Be sure to explain what advantage(gameplay, atmosphere, or game balance etc.) it will bring and the effects(pro and con). After discussion has been hashed out, the Community Manager or a Deputy will create a page with this information listed upon it(assuming it was a reasonable enough feature request).
